But I do have a proxy. My daughter Skatje will be traveling to DC, and she will also be posting the occasional summary of the days’ events here on Pharyngula. One blog, two conferences. We shall do everything!

Warning: if you are at the same conference with Skatje, do not attempt to weasel sordid stories of her awful father and his goofy behavior out of her — she is under strict instructions to obey that one commandment about honoring your father and mother. Also, the one about killing.

I’m attending the Women in Secularism Conference but was sorely tempted by a third going on that same weekend: the 6th World Skeptic Conference in Berlin, May 18-20, 2012 (http://www.worldskeptics.org/)

Hi all, I am organizer of the conference. The $219 price is actually at cost and the membership price is below that. We aren’t expecting to make any money from the conference unless someone gives us a big donation. :) We tried to make the cost as low as possible so more people could come.
